Power-Operated Wedge Hook Chuck with Optional Centrifugal Compensation
The universally applicable power chucks of the KT family are among the most sophisticated and flexible chucks in the FORKARDT product range. Available as two-jaw, three-jaw and four-jaw chucks. A patented wedge hook profile ensures enormous clamping forces and enables turning operations even in the heavy-duty machining sector with consistently high clamping accuracy.
The flexible plus for your production: the modularity of this series. FORKARDT KT chucks are constructed according to the modular principle, i.e. the chuck and jaw connection dimensions are interchangeable and in combination with the optional quick-change jaw system (MIR), offer the possibility of reducing non-productive times to a minimum in the event of frequent jaw changes. It goes without saying that FORKARDT chucks are manufactured from high-quality materials and developed under ISO 9001 – 2000.
